The Protestant parish church on Julius-Raab-Straße in St. Pölten was built between 1891 and 1892 according to plans by Ludwig Schöne in the Neo-Gothic style. Characteristic features of the building include its façade with a pointed arch portal, a tympanum depicting the Lamb of God, a large rose window, and a steep pyramidal roof. Buttresses, pointed arch windows, and a surrounding round-arch frieze give the building a vertical, soaring effect.

Interior features a clearly structured, light-filled hall with a cross-ribbed vault and a straight choir loft. The Neo-Gothic altar depicts a Crucifixion by the artist Emil Fuchs. The church has a mechanical slider-chest organ from 1959, which was reworked and expanded by two registers during the general renovation in 2014.

The neighboring rectory was also incorporated into the building: a modern connecting wing with a glass entrance area and atrium was added and now serves as a multifunctional parish hall. The historic structure was carefully restored and combined with contemporary architecture. Of the original three bells, one has survived both world wars.

Today, the church is an important spiritual and cultural center for the Protestant community in St. Pölten and is regularly used for services, concerts, and events.
